Retype PDFs into Editable Text

I have a steady stream of scanned PDFs and image files that must be transformed into error-free, searchable text. Your task is simple yet detail-oriented: open each file, retype every word accurately, keep original line breaks and basic formatting, then deliver the result in an editable format—Word or Google Docs for narrative pages, Excel/Sheets when the source contains tables.
You will often receive handwritten notes or low-resolution scans, so a good eye and patience with zoom tools are essential. Consistency matters more than speed; I will spot-check characters, punctuation, and spacing on every batch before approving. If you notice typos in the source, flag them in a comment rather than silently correcting them.
Deliverables for each batch:
• Clean, fully typed document that mirrors the source layout
• A quick summary of any illegible words or uncertainties you encountered
I typically send 20–30 pages at a time and turnarounds of 48 hours work best for me. Let me know how many pages you can comfortably handle per cycle and which software you prefer so we can agree on a smooth workflow.
